Blood stained the walls, the
floor, the desks, the chairs, and myself.

"Anna?" I reached out to her
with tears filling my eyes.

"ANNA!" I
screamed.

My eyes flashed open and I
breathed hard as I clutched my chest. A dream is what most people
would call it, but it's not the same for me.

"Troy! Time for school." My
older brother called out to me.

"R-Right." I
replied.

Nick is my older brother,
he's sixteen right now. He can be cocky at times, somewhat of a
jerk, but is pretty nice most of the time. He has light brown
hair, tanish skin, and green eyes.

My name is Troy, I'm fourteen
years old. There's nothing much to tell you all about my
personality other than I don't really have one. That's only
because I'm usually busy doing one thing over and over
again.

"Okay. What if I told you
guys that I have been having dreams of someone dying. It's the
same every night and then it happens. I've been trying each day
to save her but she keeps dying and I wake up like it was another
dream. I don't even know if this is reality of not!?" I started
to cry a bit.

I ate my breakfast in
silence. No one talked throughout the whole
morning.

I grabbed my bag and headed
out the door with Nick.

Nick didn't even talk to me
while we waited for the bus. So we just stood there in silence
instead.

The bus pulled up to fast
stop in front of us.

I looked at the bus windows
to see Anna already on the bus, she waved to me with a friendly
smile on her face.

I waved back to her and smile
too.

Nick boarded the bus first
and I followed him. I took a seat next to Anna while Nick sat
with a friend of his two seats behind us.

"Hey Troy." Anna greeted
me.

"Hi Anna." I returned the
greeting.

"Ready for history class
today?" Anna asked.

I felt my heart skip a beat
and then continue on only getting faster and faster with each
second.

"Y-Yeah why wouldn't I be?" I
gulped a bit.

"That's good, I am too." She
giggled.

"Cool." I nodded my
head.

I could feel my throat go dry
once the bus stopped at school.

My stomach started twisting
and turning as I stummbled to get off the bus.

Anna and I walked to our
lockers while Nick followed me to mine.

"So, when's this horrible
death going to occur." Nick smiled sarcasticly at
me.

"First period, but I'm going
to try to prevent it if I can." I mentioned to him.

"Whatever." He rolled his
eyes at me.

The bell rang and we all went
to our first class.

Anna took her seat as I took
mine.

I watched her
carefully.

"Hey, I talked to the
principle and he said that I can be with you all day." Nick took
a seat and placed it at my desk.

"Today class we'll be talking
about the Indus River." Mr. Randle wrote on the
board.

My breathing slowly became
shallow as I watched the ceiling above Anna start to
break.

I jumped from my seat and
grabbed Anna by the arm.

The ceiling fell, but luckily
not on her.

"Troy?!" Anna
exclaimed.

"I'm so glad your safe!" I
hugged her tightly.

I breathed a sigh of relief
to myself.

Maybe with Nick being here he
broke the cycle.

I opened my eyes, still
hugging her.

A student behind her was
holding scissors was walking to their desk.

Someone held theri foot out
to make the student trip.

"Hahaha!" They all laughed as
the student fell.

They let go of the scissors
which came flying like a spear at the back of Anna's
head!

It all happened so fast, I
was in pure shock.

Warmth hit my hands and face
as they became tainted with blood.

"Anna, Anna!"

I held her still tightly
within a hug.

I started to sob and cry as
loudly as I could.

But then everything faded
away.

I sat up in a flash. I felt
my face, which had sweat streaming down it and also down my
neck.

"Troy! Time for school." Troy
called out to me.

"Not again, not another day!"
I sobbed.

I got dressed as fast
as I could and ran down the stairs.

Nick was standing with
mom and dad who greeted me in the kitchen.

"Troy, I think we all
need to have a talk." Dad sat me down at the
table.

"Why, what happened?" I
paniced.

"Well Nick told us that
yesterday in history class you freaked out. I grabbed your chest
and started screaming Anna's name repeatively. You also were
sobbing and crying too. After that you basically went on with
your day as nothing had ever happened." Mom
explained.

"I asked your teachers
if this has happened before and they told me yes. They just adapt
to it and move on. They didn't want to worry mom and dad by
telling them so they stayed silent instead." Nick folded his
arms.

"But you guys don't
understand! That's not what happened to me, that's not what I saw
or lived!" I cried.

"Listen, Nick is going
to start staying with you everyday until this madness stops." Dad
said.

"But!-" I
protested.

"No excuses!" Mom
interupted.

I sadly sighed and
looked at the ground.

Breakfast went by
slowly. But it soon ended as mom picked up the
phone.

"Okay, thanks." Mom
smiled at the phone as she hung it up.

"What?" Nick tilted his
head with a puzzled look.

"Oh nothing, I justed
offered to give Troy's friend Anna and you all a ride to school.
I'll pick her up at her house on the way to bringing you both to
school." Mom gave us both a smiled.

I returned to smile
only with a small weak one instead of a happy
one.

Nick and I grabbed our
bags and got into mom's car. I was nervous of what way Anna would
die this time.

Mom slowled her car and
drove into Anna's driveway.

I watched as Anna ran
out of her house and waved to us.

She was about to open
the back car door when her dog ran out of her
house.

She let go of the
handle and ran after her dog into the
street.

"Anna!" I ran out of
the car and after her.

I was just a finger tip
away from her when a truck changed that.

The road was covered in
blood, the front of the truck had some stains of red, and my
clothes were bloody as well.

I got down on my knees
and held her lifeless body in my arms.

"Anna! Oh why!?" I
yelled inbetween cries.

But again, everything
slowly faded away.

I awoke with tears
streaming down my face. I just so badly wanted to rip my heart
out of my chest.

"Troy! Time for
school." Nick called out to me.

"O-Okay!" I called back
to him.

I got dressed as fast
as I could and dashed down the stairs. I went right pass mom,
dad, and Nick. I opened the front door and ran down the street. I
kept running until I came up to Anna's
house.

I don't want this
anymore.

"Anna!" I stood
below her window.

Anna opened her
window and looked down at me.

"Troy?" She
rubbed her eyes.

"Yeah, I need to
tell you something!" I shouted up to
her.

"Okay, sure!" She
happily shouted back to me.

"Don't come to
school to-" I was about to finish my
sentence.

Anna leaned to
forward out her window and lost her footing. She fell face first
to the ground!

Blood poured and
gushed out from her head.

I was taken back
and took a few steps away from her
body.

Panic and shock
to over and I ran down the road.

Everything faded
and I woke up in bed.

I didn't waste a
minute!

I ran out of bed,
still in my sleep wear and ran into Nick's room. Nick was still
there packing his bag.

"Huh? I was about
to go wake you up in a few minutes." Nick sounded surprised at
how I was already up.

"Please, help
me." I grabbed him by his sleeve.

"What are you
talking about?! Are you still going on about that whole dream
thing still?" Nick brushed my hand
away.

I clentched my
fists and walked out of his room without a
word.

I walked down
stairs and grabbed my bag.

"I'm not hungry,
can one of you drive me to school right now?" I didn't even face
either of them.

"Ah, sure?" Dad
hesitated to get up.

I climbed into
the back seat and stared out the window the whole time during the
drive.

Once we were at
school I got out of the car and walked into the
school.

I went to my
locker and shoved my bag into it.

"Haahahaha! Did
you here about Jake's prank? It was totally funny!" I heard some
student's having a good time.

I felt sadness
wash over me like a wave washing up over the beach
sand.

They all got to
laugh, smile, and go on with their lives. Why can't I
then?

Why am I the only
one going through this all? I'm all alone, and there's no one who
can or will help me.

I slammed my
locker shut and walked over to Anna's
locker.

I put my hand up
to it and slowly let my hand fall to my
side.

Anna was so sweet
and kind. She's my best friend and my only friend at
that.

Why did it have
to be her? Out of everyone in the entire world, it had to be
her.

I wish it could
be someone else, anyone else but her. She doesn't deserve this
all.

Even if she
doesn't know that I see her go through death and life all over
again.
